ALL QUIET AT LOUISVILLE.
The Negroes Turner and Patterson Pass
the Night in Agony.


LOUISVILLE, KY, April 30.-Every
thing is quiet this morning about the jail
and courthouse square. The meeting
agreed upon by the mob leaders last night
has met, materialized, and it is generally
believed that all danger of mob violence
has passed. Turner and Patterson spent
q miserable night. They refused to eat
ana could not sleep with any peace. They
were called upon by two cOlOred minis
tiers, VINO endeRvOreG to pacify them, but
were only partially successful. Dur
ing the night the prisoners were
visited by numerous citizens who, out Of
curiosity, wanted to see and hear what
thev had TO say. The men were in ad-
Joining cells, and could distinctly hear
what each other said. When Turner was
asked if Patterson was guilty he would
reply in the affirmative, and Patterson
never failed to reply that it was
not true. dispute would then fol-
low, each swearing by al that was dear
and holy that he was right and the
other wrong. Both prayed necessarily,
and when the mob was lOudest they lit
orally rolled on the floor in fear and
agony. When the prisoners were told
that the militia and Gatling gun had ap-
pesred they grew quieter and rested I'M
der a feeling Of safety. The statement
published by one of the morning papers
indicating that Patterson was able to prove
an alibi is not generally believed. This is
strongly contradictory of smother story
told by Patterson few days ago when
he claimed he had been assisting the lady
to move at the time of the assault. This,
upon Investigation was found to be false
Jennie Bowman continues ID the same
dangerous condition. Sac is resting
easier this morning under the influence of
opiates, but it is thought she cannot re-
cover. The alleged attack between u
and l O'Clock this morning did not
amount to anything. a bowling mob OF
boys threw some stones at the police and
numerous arrests were made, but no one
was hurt.
